Record a field's boundary by driving its edge with the mobile app — your GPS position traces the shape as you go. You can drive a field in one pass, add more pieces, or drive a hole, and you can set a GPS offset so the boundary lands where the field edge is rather than where your vehicle is.
Driving works offline too. The only difference is that base-map imagery doesn't show while you record.
| Action | Where | Who |
|---|---|---|
| Drive a field boundary | Mobile | Enterprise Administrator, Agronomist, Technician+ |
| Set a GPS offset | Mobile | Enterprise Administrator, Agronomist, Technician+ |
